Life in the NBA G League bubble was very, very good to Josh Green.
Not only did Green average 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.2 steals while shooting 45.5 percent from the field in six games with the Salt Lake City Stars. He also was able to play 29.7 productive minutes per game, which was extremely important at this stage in his career.
The Dallas Mavericks drafted Green No. 18th overall on Nov. 18 in the NBA Draft. But since the Mavs already have a wealth of established players at his positions, Green’s chances of cracking the rotation and receiving several minutes of meaningful playing time was limited.
